er, the cams are not exactly the same spec / part # but they are interchangable, or should be, as everything else is. So no telling if tehy're better, worse, unnoticible or the same as far as performance.. I.e. JDM and EDM have same intake but diff exh, JDM/EDM intake is not same as USDM intake; USDM/EDM share exhaust however.

are the valve springs and retainers the same...(stiffness and everyhting)i was wondering about this, and wasnt sure if there were the same between det and de...also are the exhaust valves the same (most turbo cars have coated valves to deal with heat and stuff, where a non turbo variant would not have the same coated valves...)
